Chapter 858 Reinforcement arrives

,,,,,,,,,,,,

In addition to shields, crossbows, spears and knives, each of the Eagle Strike Army also had a bag of turmeric oil, which was related to the fact that the Eagle Strike Army mainly carried out special tasks. When Sima Yi found that the situation was beginning to be unfavorable to the Han army, he finally set fire in the canyon. They had a small number of people and had a way to protect themselves, but it was different for the Xiongnu army. This was also an effective means for them to break through the enemy's siege.

Bags of turmeric oil were piled up in the forest to the east. Two soldiers ran in the forest, constantly spraying bags of turmeric oil towards the trees around them. In the valley, the two armies had been fighting fiercely for more than an hour, about half a mile wide, and on the main battlefield less than one mile long were already a sea of ​​corpses and blood. The Hun army had more than 1,08 people died and injured, and the Han army also suffered considerable casualties, with more than 20 people killed and more than ten people injured. The wounded soldiers were unable to support them for a long time. In the end, they were basically killed in battle, and the Han army's new forces were only more than 60 people left.

But even more terrible is that the Han army's physical strength is almost unable to support it. They had fought fiercely with more than a thousand bandits for half an hour before, but now they have been fighting for more than an hour, without any chance to breathe. Everyone's physical strength is seriously overdrawn. Although the killing is still fierce, their speed has slowed down slightly, and the five-man team's battle has gradually turned into a ten-man team's battle.

Although nearly half of the Huns' army was killed or injured, the main general Liu Luo still saw the fatigue of the Han army. He realized that the opportunity was coming. He ordered the 1,000 soldiers waiting at the entrance of the north to join the battle without hesitation, which suddenly increased the combat effectiveness of the Huns' army and the army also increased to a thousand people. Liu Luo shouted loudly: "Enter the surroundings, no retreat is allowed."

The sound of the Huns' war drums rumbled in the valley, and soldiers holding sharp blades were supervising the battle behind them. More than a dozen fleeing soldiers were killed on the spot. Under the pressure of death and the excitement of the new force, the Huns' soldiers launched a fierce attack on the Han army again.

At this moment, thick smoke suddenly rose in the forests on both sides of the valley, mixed with the sound of crackling fire. The fire was so rapid that all the soldiers in the valley were stunned. Suddenly, several tongues of flames spewed out from the forest, and the rolling heat waves rushed towards the Hun soldiers. Thousands of Hun soldiers were so scared that they were out of their minds. Regardless of whether there were soldiers behind the battle, they turned around and fled desperately.

Liu Luo, who was behind the team, also had a terrifying heart. He turned his horse's head and fled out of the valley. At this time, a big burning tree fell down and killed more than ten people. Thousands of soldiers suddenly became in chaos, pushing and trampling on each other, crying and begging one after another.

The fierce battle suddenly disappeared. The Han army commander He Yan wiped away the sweat from his forehead, bent down and gasped. He was a little exhausted, but he knew in his heart that the raging fire must have been the arrangement of Sima Shangshu, and the fire saved them from the most dangerous situation.

At this time, Sima Yi and more than 20 followers had climbed down from the big tree and shouted to the soldiers: "Escape from the south"

Sima Yi could see clearly that most of the Hun soldiers fled from the north of the valley, and only a few people fled from the south. With their strength, it was easy to deal with the Huns. The soldiers nodded, supported the wounded soldiers, and quickly ran to the south.

The fire spread rapidly. A quarter of an hour later, the entire valley was filled with smoke and was completely swallowed by the storm of fire. After the Han soldiers ran out of the valley, they did not encounter the Hun soldiers who retreated south. They caught a wounded Hun soldier and realized that several Hun soldiers had lost their fighting spirit and fled to Xihe County from a valley to the south.

Sima Yi looked at the sky. It was still two o'clock in the morning. The night was dark. He pondered for a moment and said to everyone: "This fire will burn at least two days. The Huns may wait for us on the other side, and maybe they can't wait. Returning to Xihe County from the valley road, we should go back to Jiahu Fort to rest for two days. If it really doesn't work, we will go to the other side and cross Gaobiling to take a boat."

Although everyone was exhausted, everyone wanted to leave this dangerous place, so they agreed with Sima Yi's decision and set off for the Jahu Fort.

Liu Luo led his army to escape from the valley entrance from the north, counting the number of people, leaving only two thousand people. He brought five thousand troops, but most of the losses were lost. The Han army envoy had not yet been killed. He was angry and hated. If he went back like this, he could not explain to his father.

Liu Luo looked at the sky. It was gloomy and it was probably raining in the second half of the night. In this way, the mountain fires would probably go out tomorrow. He sent someone to see it. If they could pass through the valley, they would still chase the Han army envoys. Anyway, they were walking and the speed was not fast. Even if they hid in the Jiahu Fort, he would still kill into the fort and kill the enemy.

Liu Luo resolutely made up his mind and turned around and said loudly: "Go back to the camp to rest first, and then pursue the enemy early tomorrow morning."

The Huns' camp was below Yutu Ridge, less than ten miles away. The soldiers were hungry and thirsty and walked quickly down the mountain along the mountain road. Soon, they saw the camp from afar. At this time, the soldiers could no longer help and rushed to the camp one mile away.

But at this moment, a drum sounded from the woods diagonally opposite, and fire was blowing. An army broke out from the woods. It was a general with a strong figure and a golden back and tiger-toothed sword in his hand. It was Yu Jin, the general under Cao Cao. Cao Cao received a secret report that the Huns might intercept the Han army envoys in the Rat and Chou Valley area, which shocked Cao Cao and immediately sent Yu Jin to lead 5,000 troops to pick him up.

Yu Jin had come to this area to suppress bandits and was very familiar with the terrain here. He led his army to run away and had just arrived. At this time, he saw a raging fire in the valley in the distance. He ordered the army to hide in the woods and happened to encounter the Hun army, which was trapped in the crowd and was not wary of any guard.

Yu Jin led his army out, pointed at the big knife and said, "Kill me."

Five thousand Cao's soldiers shouted and rushed out of the woods, killing towards the Hun army that was in chaos.

............

Sima Yi and his party returned to Jiahu Fort and rested until noon. At this time, the hotel shopkeeper hurriedly found Sima Yi and said that there was a visit by Cao army general outside the hotel. This made Sima Yi stunned for a moment. How could Cao army general appear in Jiahu Fort

With doubts in his heart, Sima Yi quickly walked out of the hotel and saw several Cao troops standing in the courtyard. As a general, Sima Yi knew him, but it was Yu Jin. He couldn't help laughing, "It turned out to be General Yu."

At that time, Sima Yi was the chief clerk under Cao Cao's account and was quite in love with Yu Jin. Yu Jin bowed and said, "The delay in Yu Jin's rescue made Mr. Sima scared."

"General Yu, please come into the house and speak."

Sima Yi invited Yu Jin to the dining hall. The two of them sat down. Sima Yi asked with a smile: "Have you met the Huns?"

Yu Jin nodded, "When they returned to the camp, the Huns' army was exhausted and completely wiped out by us, but unfortunately, they were led away."

"Oh, this is a bit of a pity."

Sima Yi sighed slightly, but he didn't know that Yu Jin did not tell the truth. Cao's army did wipe out all the Huns and captured Liu Luo alive. However, Yu Jin released Liu Luo and the captured Hun soldiers back to Xihe County. This was Cao Cao's order. Cao's army wanted to ensure that the Han army envoys arrived at the land safely. But on the other hand, before the war began, Cao Cao did not want to offend the Huns too much, and just teach a little lesson.

Sima Yi couldn't guess Cao Cao's thoughts, but he remembered another thing and asked with a smile: "Has the mountain fire been extinguished?"

"It rained in the second half of the night and the wildfires were extinguished. Although the valley was very hot, it did not affect the passage. It was just the corpses all over the ground, which was shocking. I left the army to clean up, and I led some soldiers to Jahu Fort and asked Mr. Sima to set off to the original place. We will protect the safety of Mr. and his party along the way."

Sima Yi smiled happily and said, "With General Yu's guard, I believe there will be no more accidents."

Sima Yi immediately ordered his subordinates to pack their luggage briefly. The group left Jiahu Fort, and set off north again under the escort of Cao's army, and headed north again in the original direction. This time they were successful, and they did not encounter any ambush again.

The queen, Sima Yi and his party arrived at the original place. Cao Cao ordered Chen Qun to receive them and placed the group in a VIP hotel. Chen Qun immediately took Sima Yi to meet Cao Cao.

Sima Yi was defeated in Anlu County and was captured by the Jiangxia army at that time. Finally, he surrendered to Liu Jing. Sima Yi's wife, who was pregnant with Liu Jia, was imprisoned by Cao Pi. After giving birth, she unfortunately died of illness. Sima Yi also formed a deep hatred with Cao Pi.

Although this was the past eight years ago, and although Sima Yi had already married and had a wife, Sima Yi never forgot this hatred of eight years ago. However, he was responsible for the heavy responsibility at this time and would not affect the cooperation between the two sides' anti-Hungarian cooperation due to personal hatred. Sima Yi visited Cao Cao in the military chief hall. Cao Cao was quite polite to his chief clerk back then, and asked Chen Qun, Xinpi and Jia Kui to accompany him, and both sides sat down according to the ceremony of the host and host.

Cao Cao looked at Sima Yi carefully and saw that he was over 40 years old. Compared with that, he was more steady and calm, and his conversation was extraordinary. His every move was like a prime minister. Cao Cao couldn't help but stroke his beard and sighed: "Although I have fought with the King of Han for many years and it can be said that water and fire are incompatible, I have to admit that the King of Han is a clever man. At that time, he appointed Zhongda as his military advisor, and later he became one of the five prime ministers. I also said that the King of Han was too hasty in employed people, but now it seems that I was wrong. The King of Han has assisted him with such capable people as Zhongda. No wonder he can get to where he is today step by step."

Seeing that the several strategists who were accompanying him looked embarrassed, Sima Yi smiled and said, "His Highness of the King of Han often said to me, if it comes to employment, no one in the world can compare with the prime minister. The prime minister can use his strengths and avoid his weaknesses. The King of Han admitted that he was not as good as the prime minister. I am just a mediocre person. Thanks to the trust of the King of Han, he entrusted it with importance. Only by being diligent and self-disciplined and diligent in doing things? The Prime Minister is so arrogant, Sima Yi is ashamed of being accused of taking responsibility."

Cao Cao smiled, "Sima Shangshu is too humble."

The two exchanged a few greetings, and the topic turned to the main business. Sima Yi sighed and said, "This time I am on the order of the King of Han to the original mission. I shoulder two major tasks. One is to send the King of Han to the Prime Minister, and the second is to talk specifically about the details of the cooperation between the two sides in fighting against the Huns. However, half of the year was ambushed by the Huns and the ceremony was destroyed. I don't know how to explain to His Highness the King of Han."

Cao Cao nodded, "I have heard General Yu's report. The Huns are bold and reckless and dare to ambush Mr. He, which is really annoying. However, it also shows that the Huns are afraid that we will join forces. As for the matter of grace, please do not blame yourself. Just send the King of Han to the King of Han. I will assume that I have accepted the grace of Han."

After solving the troubles of the bride, Sima Yi fell in love with his heart, and his mind turned to the cooperation between the two sides. He took out Liu Jing's handwritten letter and presented it to Cao Cao and said with a smile: "Thank you for your tolerance. This is my handwritten letter to the prime minister by the King of Han. I specially entrusted me to talk to the prime minister about the cooperation between the two sides' anti-Hungarians."

Cao Cao took the letter and opened it and read it. He smiled and said, "I am willing to have a detailed talk with the sir. I don't know where we will start."
